Thanks for the directions, it is an interesting read.

No kidding....

BTW, I believe this cable goes back as far as the 70's and was also marketed as
Polk Cobra (and Monitor Audio as well). Referred to here under "identification"
paragraph. http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-SpkrCab.html

Some users even went to the trouble of paralleling up to 8 of these cables.

There was also a flat version as well but it was reputed by the "audiophiles" to
be not as good as the round version.

I am sure you would be aware that many resellers of the cable had to remove it
from the market because it caused many amplifiers setups to blow up. Admittedly,
these susceptible amps may not have been unconditionally stable.

Also gets amention in Audiophile 40 years review. See number 100.
